CSIS officially directed to share more information with Parliamentarians under threat
People make their way toward the West Block of Parliament Hill in Ottawa on March 6, 2023.
While the Globe and Mail reported that CSIS was keeping tabs on Zhao Wei, the Chinese diplomat who allegedly was helping to orchestrate the plot dating back to 2021, multiple federal ministers say they only recently learned of the details.Chong himself has said that while he received "defensive briefings" from CSIS, they offered few details and he did not know about Zhao's role.
"This may involve direct disclosures, or by working with other bodies, such as the government of Canada departments, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or other law enforcement agencies, as the law permits."The Chong matter also has raised questions about the flow of intelligence in government. Conservative MP Michael Chong rises during question period on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.
"The minister of public safety will be informed of all instances of threats to the security of Canada directed at Parliament or to parliamentarians in a timely manner and with an explanation," it says.
